Event Coverage: Euronited

DaveT -
Starting a new show or event is never an easy task. With so many other events taking place in our relativley short season it's nearly impossible to schedule something that is not on the same day as at least one other event. Never mind choosing a venue, enticing vendors, and getting participants and spectators to come out.

Event Coverage: Boost Theory Grand Opening

DaveT -
On Sunday a new performance shop in Mississauga opened under the name Boost Theory and as the name implies they specialize in forced induction but are more than capable of working on N/A motors, suspension and anyting else you would expect from a good performance shop. On my way home from Euronited (coverage tomorrow) I swung by and was greeted by Focal Point Concepts, Elevated, Sic Ryde, and a few other local celebrities.

Event Coverage: Mosport DMCC 2012: Show And Shine

DaveT -
Before I get into coverage from the events that took place this past weekend I ought to finish off the coverage from the previous weekend so with that here is the show & shine coverage from the 2012 DMCC Mosport event. Put on by Carlos of SLC Productions the show & shine this year wasn't as big as I remember from 2010 but it did have a decent mix of cars and since it was actually cheaper to enter the show and shine than pay for 2 regular price admissions a lot of people who wouldn't normally show (like myself) entered.

Theme Tuesdays: GTA Then and Now

DaveT -
After posting the Trial Widebody 2010 vs 2012 picture on the fan page I realized that with the amount of back content the site has I could do the same for a number of local vehicles, so for this Tuesday I've done just that. To prevent things from getting too out of hand I have limited it to cars that have seen multiple revisions over the years rather than a one year change but I am not opposed to doing another one of these at the end of the year to include 2011 year end to 2012 year end differences.

Bug Life

DaveT -
Recently Volkswagen released their latest re-imagining of the car that has become known affectionately known as 'The Bug' in another attempt to recapture what they created on the very first go round, however just like the previous 'New Beetle' the current falls short of the mark. Really you can't blame VW for trying because in addition to being one of the most recognizable cars ever built the original Bugs just have something about them that appeals to almost everyone, enthusiast or non.

WTF Friday: Causing A Ruckus

DaveT -
I'm not really the biggest Honda Ruckus fan, I mean they look kind of neat modified, but I think people always look a little weird riding one. I am however a big fan of however are 'large motor in a small vehicle-are you sure this was a good idea-how the hell are we going to stop this thing-watch out for that pole' type projects such as this.

Guest Coverage: Eurokracy 2012

DaveT -
Despite the wet weather last years Eurokracy drew quite a crowd proving that European car enthusiasts are not the type to let a little water get in the way of good times and low cars. This year the Eurokracy team started promoting the show six months in advance and once the weather cooperated breaking last years attendance record was no problem at all.

Moving right along to the finals from this past weekends Canada Day DMCC Drift celebration at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. For the finals I was lucky enough to score a media pass from my friend Trevor at tdott.me which allowed me to take photos from the infield.

Theme Tuesdays: Vintage Lowriders Part II

DaveT -
I love looking at vintage coverage from all areas of the hobby because it is a great way to see what styles were here to stay and continue to stand the test of time and which were 'of the era'. I hesitate to use the word fad because it has a lot of negative connotations and some styles tend to boomerang and come full circle in the end anyway.

Theme Tuesday: MKII Golfs

DaveT - 11
I was over on Supermade last night looking at all the nice Volkswagens he posts when it hit my like a brick that I had yet do do a Theme Tuesday dedicated solely to the MKII Golf. I can't believe it's taken me this long, these cars a staple of the low lifestyle and are always at shows and meets.

Event Coverage: CSCS Opener 2011: Pt 1

DaveT - 4
The Canadian Sport Compact Series kicked of their season with one hell of an eventful day last Sunday. Mr. weatherman finally blessed CSCS with a glowing, scorching, rain free, forecast that lead to a spectacular turn out. In fact it was the best turn out I've ever seen at CSCS since I have been attending. The distance I had to park from the action was a clear indicator of just how many people came out to enjoy a day of motor sport.

Theme Tuesdays: Chevy Belairs

DaveT - 1
As a child I built a heck of a lot of model cars (a hobby I have recently picked up once more) and one kit that I have fond memories assembling was Monogram's 1956 Bel Air. The Belair is a true American classic with an appeal that transcends many different scenes so I am a little surprised it took me so long to realize that there was a dire need for some appreciation here on the site.
